Crime Against Pro-Democracy Women In Bahrain

EDM number 1313 in 1994-95, proposed by George Galloway on 28/06/1995.

That this House expresses its disgust at the latest crime against women in Bahrain committed by the British mercenary-led Security and Intelligence Services of the royal dictatorship of Bahrain; notes that high school teacher and mother of three children Fatema Abdullah Abu Edrees, was gassed by stormtroopers of the SIS who smashed into the Essa Town High School, shooting and teargassing schoolgirls staging a democracy demonstration, and that eight women teachers were arrested after being beaten and having their clothes ripped from them by the thugs, since when they have been systemically abused in prison and dismissed from their positions at the school; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to place concern for human and democratic rights above base financial considerations, and side with the democratic people of Bahrain against the royal despots who oppress them.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
